Not only Lan Xiaobu, but everyone else present also felt that Qiu Lunjiao was a ruthless man.
What surprised everyone was that after killing these people, Qiu Lunjiao walked up to Lan Xiaobu and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Brother Lan, for allowing me to take revenge and kill Meng Ou with my own hands.
Back when Meng Ou killed my dao companion Fang Jun, I, Qiu Lunjiao, swore that if I didn’t kill Meng Ou in this lifetime, I wouldn’t be human. But I knew that in front of Meng Ou, I wasn’t even an ant. Without Brother Lan, perhaps I would never have become human in this life.
From today onward, my life belongs to Brother Lan."
Lan Xiaobu and all the members of the Tenth Unit instantly understood—the person Meng Ou had killed to establish his authority back then was none other than Qiu Lunjiao’s dao companion.
Qiu Lunjiao had truly endured silently, only revealing his connection to Fang Jun after personally killing Meng Ou.
"Good. From now on, you are my friend," Lan Xiaobu said, patting Qiu Lunjiao on the shoulder as he accepted his allegiance.
Qiu Lunjiao hadn’t addressed Lan Xiaobu as "Unit Leader" but as "Brother Lan," indicating his desire to get closer to Lan Xiaobu—or perhaps to fully align himself with him.
